All in All Today

I was afflicted with strong headaches in the left lobe of my brain multiple times. These were almost like spasms as they lasted only a few minutes each. I can't quite recall how many but it was definitely more than six. Probably near 10.

My left knee has throbbed all day and my headache never receded. My left ankle also has hurt for the last six hours.

My mom wants me to post all the things I've experienced that are possible symptoms since this January 28th 2009. Here's an imperfect list. Note that items marked with a + are common issues. Those marked with a # are daily issues and those unmarked are uncommon occurrences.

Changes in personality (lost interest in integral personality motivators).+
Inability to think creatively.+
Emotional-overreactions to insignificant comments to others due to reduced focus or confusion.+
Severe depression.+

There's more but I can't remember any more and my hands are asleep (completely numb).

Have a good day. I'm sure my therapist will kick my ass today. It sucks that lifting your leg straight hurts so much you almost pass out.
